Marissa & Michael
Wedding Party
Miranda Lovato
Maid of Honor
What can I say? Miranda is my best friend and little sister (even though people swear she is the older one); she is my go to for all things not just for the wedding. We have had plenty fun times, mischievous times and of course sad times together. One of the things that I love about her is that she is real and will give you her opinion honest even if it’s not what you want to hear, she is always there for me. She is one of the people I know that I can count on and will help me out in a pinch. I couldn't imagine my big day with out her.
Ashley Herrera
Bridesmaid
I met her when I was about 16 years old while working at Dion’s and from that first day of meeting we were instant friends. We have been friends for over 10 years now and I couldn’t image my life without her. She always knows how to make you laugh even in serious situations (like a funeral) and you can always count on her to tag you on the best memes. One of my favorite memories together, well its hard to just choose one but it would be when we went to New York, on a trip that she won on BET. It was both our first time to the Big City and we were so excited, but at the end of that trip our feet killed us!
Mariah Padilla
Bridesmaid
Family isn’t always about blood; our parents were great friends and we grew up as cousins. We would have many sleep overs with our sisters and would come up with the craziest ideas. From telling scary stories like La Llorona by the ditch, to making up dances to recording ourselves acting like talk show hosts. We always have the best time together. One of my favorite memories of her was the time we would go to Grandma Glo's house to make fresh tortillas, but we would eat them before we could share them with anyone.
Melissa Romero
Bridesmaid
I met Melissa right after high school through a mutual friend. We started hanging out and we would just have a blast. Melissa, Ashley and I would go out and just laugh all night. The best nights were those nights when Missy came out. One of my favorite memories with Melissa is when we went to see Luke Bryan and we had the worst storm ever. It poured so much and Melissa, Ashley, Miranda and I had to take shelter under a bar table. The storm never stopped we all had to take off running to the car, by the time we finally found the car we were soaked. Even though the night was ruined we still had a blast laughing at everything that just happened.
Ashley Castillo
Bridesmaid
I’ve known her since she was nine years old, we met at New Mexico Stars, and have been friends since. Again family isn’t always about blood, we traveled together for dance competition and had some of the best times. One of my favorite memories with her is when we were celebrating her birthday and we though it was a good idea to take a picture with confetti cannon in her mom's kitchen. Well it wasn't the best idea we had, confetti went everywhere!! It took us forever to clean that up, I think they are still finding confetti in small corners, sorry Debbie.
Chris Allen
Bridesman
I first met Chris when he lived with my sister in Las Cruces. As soon as I met him I knew we would become lifelong friends. We are basically the same person and love the same kind of music and movies, we can quote all our favorite movies to each other. One of my favorite memories of Chris was when I would go visit LC we would go to Santa Fe Grill to get the best breakfast burritos after a fun night out.
Jonathan Murphy
Groomsman
I have known Jonathan since 4th grade. We have been through many adventures and life together. He’s always my go to guy when life throws you a curve ball and you need some good advice. He always has my back and couldn't imagine my big day with out him next to me.
Natalie Schaefer
Groomswoman
I meet Natalie when I was in my early 20's, she is literally the female version of me. We’ve had some crazy nights out and is the only girl I know that can drink with the crew and hang. She’s like a sister to me and we have always been there for each other.
Jeff Norman
Groomsman
I have known Jeff since 4th grade! He pretty much lived at my house when we were kids. Been through a lot of ups and downs together but is a brother to me. He’s always been there for me no matter what.
Joey Ayala
Groomsman
I have known Joey since 6th grade, and It is always trouble when we're all together. He’s probably the craziest guy I know, but also one of the most loyal. He’s always there if some one needs a buck or two lol.
Alfredo Licon
Groomsman
I have known Alfredo since 6th grade, he is one of the most genuine people I know. We lived a life of craziness and probably should’t have made it past our 20’s lol. He’s always there for you when you need anything and someone you can trust.
